Application Note

Description

With the advancement of mobile phone development, the improvement of chip layering and the miniaturization of electronic products have become the current design direction and trend. However, chip layering also means that the chip's ability to resist ESD is weakened, and the substrate area is limited. Miniaturization leads to a discount in the effect of ESD energy release, so how to achieve a compromise design solution between miniaturization and device functions has become a problem must face.

Product Description

SFI has developed the STS series of overvoltage protectors dedicated to mobile phone communication. STS is a product using the newly developed SGD packaging method. It successfully encapsulates Wafer in the size of 0201~0603. It provides superior TVS product features and can effectively protect 15KV~25KV overvoltage. It has passed the international standard IEC61000-4-2. STS itself It has low voltage and low capacitance to provide better ESD protection for high-speed transmission such as USB 2.0, HDMI, and Thunderboat. In addition, STD uses SGD packaging to achieve ultra-low capacitance levels, and uses cutting-edge discharge methods to suppress ESD. STS/STD provides "same as RC products" packaging, which can reduce the verification process time, and has "excellent soldering properties". Compared to the drawbacks of using DFN in the market, which has always been difficult to solder and low flux, STS/STD is the best choice for mobile phone communication overvoltage components.
